County elections offices throughout Washington have mailed ballots to all voters for the November 4th general election.
More than 5 million voters will receive a ballot for the election, when voters will decide on a statewide constitutional amendment along with local offices and measures.
Voters participating in the election must return their ballot by 8 p.m. on Tuesday, November 4th. Ballots can be returned by mail, placed in an official ballot drop box, or hand delivered to a county voting center. Ballots returned by mail must be postmarked by Election Day to be accepted; the U.S. Postal Service recommends mailing ballots at least a week before Election Day to ensure it is postmarked on time. After October 28th, voters are encouraged to consider using the other return methods available.
Registered voters were also mailed the statewide Voters’ Pamphlet in early October. If a voter didn’t receive their voters’ pamphlet, they can contact their county elections office to receive a copy or access their personalized voter guide online at VoteWA.gov.
Individuals eligible to register, but have not yet done so, can register to vote throughout the 18-day voting period. Mail-in and online registrations must be received by Monday, October 27th to be eligible to vote in this election. In-person voter registration services are also available at county voting centers until 8 p.m. on Election Day.
Registered voters can log in on VoteWA.gov to ensure their voter registration is up to date or check their ballot status. Voters with questions should contact their county elections office.
